This is one of those stories that really makes you wonder what people were thinking when they voted in 2024.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported:

On a recent Sunday, El Refugio‘s visitors included married couple Martin Verdi and Debora Rey, two Argentine Americans.

Verdi and Rey drove nine hours from their home in North Carolina to see their son, Agustin Gentile, who is being detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at Stewart. They sat on El Refugio‘s back porch while waiting for their visitation appointment.

….

Verdi and Rey voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 election, saying they supported his pledge to bring order to the southern border and crack down on immigrants without legal status.

“But he didn’t say he was going to do this, that he was going to go after people who have been here for a long time,” Rey said. “He said he was going to go after all the criminals who came here illegally.”

The parents say that they feel betrayed by Trump.

There are two ways of looking at this situation. One ism that Trump campaigned on a bunch of word salad that made no sense. Many voters heard what they wanted to hear in Trump’s mashup of incoherence.

It is true that much of what Trump has foisted on America was not explicitly stated in his campaign. For example, Trump never said that he was going to impose tariffs that would drive the economy off a cliff and raise prices. Trump also said that he was going to round up criminals. What Trump left out was that his administration would consider anyone who is an immigrant who has done anything, including misdemeanors, to be a criminal eligible for deportation.

Both things can be true. Trump did not explicitly lay out his plan, but anyone who voted for Donald Trump had to know what was coming. This is a man who began his political career by calling Mexicans rapists on the day that he announced his first presidential campaign.

None of this should be a surprise.

The shock here is that the kid who ICE picked up isn’t in the country illegally. He is a legal green card holder.

There have been many reports that Trump has been sending legal immigrants out of the country, including children with birthright citizenship.

Democrats tried to warn the country, but too many chose not to listen, and they are now paying dearly for the mistake of supporting Trump.
